Never in My Wildest Dreams: A Black Woman's Life in Journalism

Never in My Wildest Dreams is a memoir with a message. Raised in a dysfunctional family in Louisiana and the San Francisco Bay area, Belva Davis rose through the black radio industry, became the first black female reporter west of the Mississippi with her hiring at KPIX, and eventually anchored KQEDs Evening Edition, the stations nightly news show. Overcoming personal and career obstacles, Davis reported on some of the eras most explosive stories, including the rise and fall of the Black Panthers, the Jonestown massacre, and the Moscone/Milk murders. The book also recounts Daviss interviews with world leaders, including Fidel Castro and three U.S. presidents.
